Several changes in this quality of life update:
The game engine has been updated for more stability.
Visual change on the menu screen:
Enjoy the new look of the menu when you open in during gameplay!
An option to equip new weapons/armor when purchased from the shops has been added!
A splash screen now displays when turning on the game!
During battle, when you open a character's skills/magic/etc., the list will appear above the character HP/MP/TP, allowing you to monitor the status of the party while making your decisions!
HP/MP/TP now 'rolls' instead of counting 'instantly' when increasing and decreasing!
A new 'glass break' battle transition before the start of battle!
Battle speed adjustments:
The delay between attacking animations and damage display has been minimized, making for faster moving battles! The battle log also lingers, allowing you to see what happens better during battle!
An option to configure your controller/keyboard has been added to the options menu in game! Configure your control settings to your liking!
An Instant Recovery option has been added to the menu! This allows you to heal the party with the press of a button using the spells of a character in the party! The character selected is based on current MP, MP cost, and spell strength. All chosen for you! If you don't need healing, or don't have a character in the party that can heal, the game will let you know!
For Steam users, the mouse pointer will disappear from the game screen when left idle for 3 seconds.
A time progress bar has been added to the battle screen! This allows you to see not only when the party members' turns are coming, but also the enemy party's, as well! You are now able to plan your moves with a bit more strategy!
A floating camera has been added! For a bit more immersion, the camera will float over the battlefield and move accordingly depending on who is attacking at the time! Enjoy the angles!
A sound now plays when it is a character's turn to help players know when it is their turn!
The number of hits and total damage in a combo now displays while attacking! Enjoy the new flair added to the battle!
Icons and text now display when someone is afflicted with a status effect or beneficiary of a positive effect! Text will also appear when the status/positive effect is removed/wears off!
Characters will have text appear over them when performing their moves!
Text will now appear and a unique sound will play when a weakness/resistance/critical hit has been achieved!
Various minor bug fixes and error cleanups.
Thank you playing and continuing to support Short Adventure!
